It seems like forever since I’ve sat down and blogged…..and yet at the same time it seems I spend all day blogging. Between school, COETAIL, and students I’m spending more time then ever in WordPress. But tonight I’m closing everything else to reflect on some articles lately that I can’t get out of my head.

Last week I gave a short presentation to the High School student body here at ISB. I talked a bit about what I was going to say here. From the time I wrote that post (a good reflection for me) to last Tuesday when I actually gave the presentation I kept coming back to this idea of attention and asking […]
(Stories from my side of the field parts 1, 2, 3, 4) Doesn’t he know better than to give a test on game day? As if the professor actually cares that there’s a baseball game today. Man on first, lefty at the plate……..Why is Chief Seattle’s speech in 1854 so significant? Focus….you have to finish this test! It is always hard to […]
Some rights reserved by Brice Reul In two weeks time I have to give a presentation to our high school student body. I always struggle the most with what to talk to them about…..them being kids in general. I’ve got about 15 minutes to inspire them to use technology in ways that really matter.

MacBook vs ChromeBook Laptop vs Tablet Tablet Laptop vs Tablet Slates The problem is that’s not the right question to be asking. Don’t get me wrong, I know what everyone is asking and dealing with. There are a […]
At the end of last week I flew to Seoul, Korea to spend two PD days with educators at Seoul Foreign School (SFS). SFS, like so many other international schools in Asia are in the midst of rolling out their 1:1 program. This year their 5th adn 6th graders are in the program and next year they will be expanding […]
Anna left a comment on my blog post about 1:1 program with MS and HS students that reads: My son attends a school where MacBooks are required from grades 8-12, and students use many different assistive technology tools. I believe that 1:1 is great as a learning TOOL, but because students have their laptops with them all the time, there […]
By Stefan When most people think of the flipped classroom model or reverse instruction, which ever term you like best, they automatically think videos, screencasts, and when you get down to it lecture based instruction.But that doesn’t have to be the case. In fact every time I have helped a teacher flip their classroom in the high school it has […]
I received a tweet a couple days ago asking why I still believed laptops, in this case MacBooks, are the right choice for middle school and high school students. @jutecht Why did you select iPads for the primary and MacBook Pros for Middle and Hi? I’d love to hear your strategy! @cindybrock — Bradford G. Saron (@bradfordgs) January 26, 2012 […]
I can’t believe how time is flying by this 2nd Semester. It’s our last 6 months in Thailand and of course when you want time to slow down so you can fit everything in it does just the oposite. No excuses, I haven’t made the time to blog lately and find myself sitting here at 6am in the van on the […]
